Chapter 243: Great Wei National Brew
The next day, Lord Shangshu Mi of the Ministry of Rites presented his own food stockpile.
This Mi-sama is more famous in Kyoto.
Because he, as an official, was bought.
The Mi family is the grain and oil family in the capital, the rich party, when the puppet emperor was in power, he donated an official, and he entered the office in a daze.
Starting from a seven-grade petty official, he became a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and his official career was smooth all the way, mainly because he was rich.
On weekdays, it is to give gifts, spend money, chatter, and the days are over.
But who would have thought that the original Ministry of Rites Shangshu had fallen, and he who donated an official like this would become a second-class member!
Last night was also heavily valued by the new emperor.
He made this great man happy, and he couldn't sleep all night, and he took out his house to show his loyalty.
"Your Majesty, you can use it, and when I receive the grain, I will give it back to you." Master Mi patted his chest and assured that his family has a lot of crops and enough food.
If it was a puppet emperor, he would not sacrifice a son, and he would not have any patriotic feelings.
But now it's different, being appreciated, being valued by others, asking for food, right, I can manage enough.
Su Liuyu was moved in her heart, although this Lord Mi is not good at what he has done, he is righteous enough and rich enough.
It's good to have money, and she likes it when she has money.
Anyway, the Ministry of Rites is an idle job, and she just needs to keep an eye on her own scientific research, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
Su Liuyu and the two brothers patted Master Mi on the shoulder.
"Aiqing's move has really done me a great favor, this kindness, I remember, do you want it? I will satisfy you within my power. ”
Master Mi's old face was happy for a while.
"There is a grandson in the courtier's family, who is very handsome, so it is better to dedicate it to the emperor as a little servant."
"Aiqing, what's so good about this harem, you let him study hard, I personally supervise it, and in the future, I will be an official in the court, so that your Mi family's official road will be prosperous."
That's a great grace!
His grandson actually asked the emperor to personally supervise his studies, this is rumored, that is the emperor's grace!
He didn't want his grandson to enter the palace, so he quickly knelt down.
"Weichen treats his grandson and thanks the emperor."
"Get up, get up, you're not in good shape, don't kneel without moving."
This moved Master Mi again, and I felt that it should be expressed.
"Is the emperor's grain going to be dedicated to the border soldiers, why don't you make up a little bit of it?"
And also?
However, Su Liuyu didn't want to do too much, so she said: "Aiqing can give me this, I am already satisfied, this grain, I have a lot of use." ”
"Dare to ask the emperor, what's the use?"
"Make wine."
Liquor.
Dawei is rich in plum blossom qionglu, the wine is light and fragrant, and the concentration is also low.
Daqi is rich in burning knives, and the wine is strong, but it is difficult to enter the throat.
Su Liuyu asked around, and most of the surrounding countries were these two kinds of wine.
So Su Liuyu decided to do distillation first, and then fermentation.
Make liquor, and then make fruit wine, for the quintessence of the country, plus a cadre!
Of course, wine is made from grain, and this grain is naturally indispensable.
With food, Su Liuyu went to the military workshop, and Master Mo went.
Distillation is to heat the liquid and vaporize it, and then liquefy the steam to remove impurities and make the wine more mellow and more concentrated.
Distillation, this is not difficult.
But there is distillation not yet.
The soul of wine, why it is mellow and fragrant, is because of the koji.
To put it bluntly, it is to volatilize the sugar in the grain and call it koji.
Plum blossom qionglu, is a small song, simple winemaking, light aroma, low degree.
Su Liuyu is now going to make a big song.
The national liquor of the Celestial Empire is made of Daqu.
Su Liuyu crushed the grain, then added water to make it into a brick-like koji, and waited for a month to ferment.
After the koji was finished, the distiller under her guidance by her master was gradually taking shape.
My father is also a lover of wine, and I am a little excited to see her tinkering for so long and finally starting to brew.
The two of them didn't strike iron in the military workshop, so they waited for the wine to come out, and during this time, the two had a tacit understanding and tried a lot of ways to thicken it.
One comes and goes, autumn harvest and winter solstice.
Great Wei ushered in, the year of Shunqi, the first winter.
"Your Majesty, I've been waiting for a few months, can this wine be opened?"
Su Liuyu didn't come over every day because of the government, and the two didn't see each other for more than a month.
The old man was so drunk that he was going to die, so he endured Su Liuyu coming over, and now when he sees her, his eyes are straight.
"Open, I'm here to open the wine, call everyone in the workshop, let's open the wine."
Today, there was a heavy snowfall, and Su Liuyu was very happy.
In the past, when encountering heavy snow, Su Liuyu was in a very bad mood, cold and freezing.
But now it's different, Ruixue is a good year, and there will be fewer epidemics in the coming year, and the people will be safe, and she will be happy in her heart.
As soon as she was happy, she was about to drink, and then she remembered that she hadn't opened the wine yet.
All the craftsmen of the military workshop surrounded them.
Mi Daren has a lot of food, and the big wine jar is spread all over the place, densely packed.
"Your Majesty, you come and open it yourself."
The old master handed over this arduous task to Emperor Shun with a look of anticipation.
Su Liuyu stepped forward and gently opened the sealed wine jar.
In an instant, the aroma of wine is tangy, and the aroma is different from the subtle fragrance of plum blossom dew.
Like a dragon's throat, mellow and long-lasting.
As soon as the altar was opened, the wine worms were hungry.
Needless to say, the old man swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
"Your Majesty, you can even make wine, this wine is fragrant and I drool."
"It's really a good wine, it smells different, fragrant! It's so fragrant! ”
"Your Majesty, can you give the little one a drink, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."
Su Liuyu took the wine cup and tasted it lightly.
His eyes lit up.
Wine!
The mellow fragrance entered the throat, warming up all the frozen bodies on a snowy day.
Not only that, but the fragrance fills the mouth and nose and lingers for a long time.
Su Liuyu has been drinking plum blossom qionglu for so many years, and at this time, when she tastes the liquor of her previous life, she is simply nostalgic to death.
"Each of you will have a little, and I will take two jars first."
This jar is not small, Su Liuyu walked a few steps with the wine jar in his arms, and handed it over to his subordinates.
With heavy snow and such a good wine, Su Liuyu decided to share it.
She made this wine and used all the remaining two hundred and fifty wives of Yun Ya'er, so naturally let the old man taste it first.
Tell him that your wife didn't use it indiscriminately, and that this wine will be sold, and we will share the money together.
This is the Great Wei national brew, and Su Liuyu is ready to be exported to a big country and make a lot of money.
The small courtyard of the Taiyi Doctor is shrouded in heavy snow, and the elegant courtyard brings a sense of poetry, quiet and serene.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, it seemed that the whole person was calm and comfortable.
In the house, there was a hot stove, and as soon as he entered the house, he was blown by the heat wave, Su Liuyu shook and looked around.
The young man was still wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but on a snowy day, he approved a fox fur, taking advantage of the original idle and elegant posture to take advantage of a sense of luxury.
The young man sat on the desk, writing a letter, and did not raise his head to the visitor.
"Brother Ya, I came to you for a drink, are you free?"
"Don't scream."
